2 DRIVING YOUR HYUNDAI
18
!
When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface,make sure that you keep a suffi- cient distance between your ve- hicle and the one ahead of you.
(6) Since the driving torque is always applied to the 4 wheels, the perfor-mance of the full-time 4WD vehicleis greatly affected by the condition of the tires. Be sure to equip it with all four tires of the same size andtype.
o When replacement of any of the
tires or disc wheels is neces-sary, replace all of them.
o Rotate the tires and check the
tire pressure at regular inter-vals. (7)The full-time 4WD vehicle can-
not be towed by an ordinary towtruck. Make sure that the vehicle is towed with its four wheels raised off the ground.
o If the vehicle is towed with its only two wheels raised off theground, the 4WD system could be damaged.
o In unavoidable case, if the ve-
hicle is being towed with all fourwheels on the ground, it should be towed only forward directionwith rope.
WARNING:
Your vehicle is equipped with tiresdesigned to provide for safe rideand handling capability. Do not use a size and type of tire and wheel that is different from theone that was originally installed on your vehicle. It can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle,which could lead to handling fail-ure or rollover and serious injury. When replacing the tires, be sure to equip all four tires with the tire andwheel of the same size, type, tread, brand and load-carrying capacity. If you nevertheless decide to equipyour vehicle with any tire/wheel combination not recommended by Hyundai for off-road driving, youshould not use these tires for high- way driving.

AUTO
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Depress the clutch pedal (Manual Transmission) or put the shift lever into "N (neutral)" position (Automatic Transmission).
3. Turn the transfer shift knob to
"AUTO" mode.
Driving 4WD Safely
(1) Be sure to wear the seat belt.
(2) Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds. Because of yourvehicle's high center of gravity, its stability will be affected in cross- winds. Slower speeds ensure bet-ter vehicle control.
(3) Check the brake condition after
driving in wet or muddy conditions.Press the brake several times as you move slowly until you feel nor- mal braking forces return.
(4) Do not drive the vehicle through water. (i.e. streams, rivers, lakes,etc.)
(5) The stopping distance of the full- time 4WD vehicle differs very littlefrom that of the 2WD vehicle.

o Remember, your Hyundai does notrequire extended warm-up. After the engine has started, allow the engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to placing the vehicle in gear. In verycold weather, however, give your engine a slightly longer warm-up pe- riod.
o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in toohigh a gear resulting in the enginebucking. If this happens, shift to a lower gear. Over-revving is racing the engine beyond its safe limit.This can be avoided by shifting at the recommended speeds.
o Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is oper-ated by engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you useit.
o Keep your car in good condition. For
better fuel economy and reducedmaintenance costs, maintain your car in accordance with the mainte- nance schedule in Section 5. If youdrive your car in severe conditions, more frequent maintenance is re- quired (see Section 5 for details).
o Keep your car clean. For maximum service, your Hyundai should bekept clean and free of corrosivematerials. It is especially important that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be al- lowed to accumulate on the under-side of the car. This extra weight can result in increased fuel con- sumption and also contribute to cor-rosion.
o Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces-
sary weight in your car. Weight re-duces fuel economy.
o Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary. If you are waiting (andnot in traffic), turn off your engine and restart only when you're ready to go.
o Don't "ride" the brake or clutch pedal.
This can increase fuel consumptionand also increase wear on these components. In addition, driving with your foot resting on the brake pedalmay cause the brakes to overheat, which reduces their effectiveness and may lead to more serious con-sequences.
o Take care of your tires. Keep them
inflated to the recommended pres-sure. Incorrect inflation, either too much or too little, results in unnec- essary tire wear. Check the tire pres-sures at least once a month.
o Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly. Improper alignment canresult from hitting curbs or driving too fast over irregular surfaces. Poor alignment causes faster tire wearand may also result in other prob- lems as well as greater fuel con- sumption.

Adding Brake Fluid
WARNING:
Handle brake fluid carefully. It can damage your vision if it gets into your eyes. Use only DOT 3 or DOT4 specification fluid from a sealed container. Do not allow the fluid can or reservoir to remain openany longer than required. This will prevent entry of dirt and moisture which can damage the brake sys-tem and cause improper opera- tion.
To add brake fluid, first wipe away any
dirt, then unscrew the fluid reservoircap. Slowly pour the recommended fluid into the reservoir. Do not overfill.Carefully replace the cap on the reser- voir and tighten.
CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
!
G130A01A-AAT
To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master
cylinder should be checked when performing other under hood services. The system should be checked for leakage at the same time. Check tomake certain that the clutch fluid level is always between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid res-ervoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss indi- cates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and re-paired immediately. Consult your Hyundai dealer. G130B02A-AAT
To Replace the Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming
to DOT 3 or DOT 4 specification shouldbe used. The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid contaminationfrom foreign matter or moisture.
NOTE: Do not allow any other liquids to
contaminate the brake fluid. Seal damage will result.
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake
fluid. It can damage your vision ifyou get it in your eyes. It will also damage your vehicle’s paint if spilled on it and not removed im-mediately.
